Idan Raichel Project

This morning was spent studying the state of South American Jewish Day Schools (crazy Melton programming) and the Torah's desire for us to be vegetarian (crazy Pardes programming), but thankfully the weekend has arrived. Tonight we met up with Moshe and Elisheva to attend another concert put on by MASA, the scholarship folk. The artist this time was the Idan Raichel Project, a group that Jon has never liked on CD but for 35 shekels was willing to give a try live. Thankfully so, as the event was great - the music was fun and different, sort of a mix between pop and Middle Eastern sounds and rhythms, and the thousands of shrieking teenagers were more than entertaining.

Does it help if we say he was just a long-haired hippy who barely sang his own songs? Oh, and that one of the male singers was wearing an ankle-length skirt? It was really just two hours of heresy. Very pretty, fun, and entertaining heresy.
